Yes! Yes! Depictions of Indian weddings in Bollywood movies are beautiful! The colors in the weddings are so vibrant. They make you want to get married a thousand times over. Just the colors! We get to experience them with the actors.

Now, Nigerian weddings... if you haven't been to be a traditional wedding of a middle-class or high-class Nigerian, you're missing something. I'll repeat that. If you have not been to a Nigerian traditional wedding, book a trip. That alone should be a tourist attraction. The glitz and glam in the weddings are spectacular. It's like going to the Oscars, except more glamorous. The women and men come to impress, to look their best in pictures that will eventually circulate around the world. I'm glad sites like Bella Naija bring us the photos.

A Nigerian celebrity, Paul of P-Square, got married last week. As expected, he did it up. The guests? I'll let you decide on whether they brought the show or not!

My March 2014 Harper's Bazaar magazine has been at the forefront of my living room book collection strictly because of the beauty of the cover. We've seen Lady Gaga on the cover of several magazines this year and last. The Gaga impression I usually get is: GAGA a.k.a. CRAZY. When I see her usual poses, makeup and quotes, I'm like "That's Lady Gaga alright." I usually don't stop to consider them 'cos I'm used to them now. However, when I received my March issue, I saw a whole lot of beauty! Beauty! The choice of her pink lipstick, the dark gold eyeshadow, her nicely mascara-ed lashes (no fakes I don't think) and a curled short hairdo. Now, that made me stop! It's maybe my best Gaga photo yet. Very different from what I think of when I see a "Lady Gaga" post. Controversial, edgy, etc. but here, there's a calmness, a thoughtfulness and a beauty that just makes me... Exhale!

So, the popular Nigerian lifestyle/entertainment/ many other things website, BellaNaija (BN), just published photos of individuals they considered best dressed at the Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA). Here is MY best dressed selection from their selection.

Former Miss World Agbani Darego in Meena

Eku Edewor's Lanre da Silva- Ajayi's number

Ohimai Atafo in Mai Atafo

I also liked Genevieve Nnaji's Jewel by Lisa outfit below, but something about it doesn't sit perfectly right with me. Still pondering what that is. Her hair's on point though!

About Me

My definition of fun style is simple made complex. I love to wear a simple dress, and pair it with nice accessories and high heels (usually). Light makeup and a good fragrance to finish it all up. I admire the same in others and continue to grow in style, fashion and all areas of my life.
I try to put up pictures of ready-to-wear clothing I think my viewers can wear easily (to work, church, dates etc.) Be inspired!
